Why would Google buying HTC "be awesome"? What is it about Google that makes you think they know anything about engineering phones, dealing with carriers, firmware, etc? How will it squelch the other 15 OEMs who make WM devices? How would the Nexus One be any different if Google owned HTC? Why would ticking of Motorola be a good business decision? Begin by answering some of those questions. Try using facts, evidence, probability, precedent to make your point--it goes a lot further. Now I'm off to write my "Why Microsoft should buy Apple" article :roll: |

Re: What if Google bought HTC? Could Kill WinMo 7
I agree with Mala. Most phone makers use the trade & license model. It's the market standard. There are few exceptions to this like Nokia, Sony Erikkson, ect. And if the latest trends are any indication, even these companies are having a hard time lately. It's hard to deny Apple changed the game in this space, and it's not easy to to change your business model to full house manufacturer, especially given the lack of experience in hardware/software or independent sales. Google probably wouldn't waste time buying a industry giant and take on established leaders, in addition to upsetting just established partners on aits main mobile platform. Seeing the problems Sony & Motorola are going through, I doubt Google will go that route, and on that note, Microsoft. Besides, the license model works well for most to market their wares as a virtually unknown (in mindshare) platform. Apple at least had the iPod platform to push iPhone, and they have the experience of being a hardware/software manufacturer. But hey just my two cents.

Google has a lot on their plate. Doing hardware isn't something they're looking to get into quite yet. |

I really liked your posts Malatesta.
They're pieced together very well, and full of facts. Quote:

Google sells one other hardware product (besides the Nexus 1), the Google Search Appliance. And guess, what, they can't even make a simple x86 server... they have to get Dell to do it for them. No chance or rationale for them to buy HTC.
